Property Description
Are you searching for an affordable place to get away from the crowds, with plenty of trees, wildlife, and outdoor recreation right at your doorstep? Welcome to 95 Branch Road in Winn, Maine, where 25.2 acres of wooded land await you. This property offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by thousands of acres of undeveloped forest and conservation land, making it an ideal escape for anyone who loves the outdoors.
Conveniently located, the land is just 18.5 miles (about 30 minutes) from Lincoln for shopping, dining, and everyday needs. Bangor is about an hour away, Portland is three hours, and Boston can be reached in under five. For Canadian buyers, Saint John, New Brunswick, is less than three hours across the border. Despite its private, rural setting, you’re never too far from services or adventure.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby recreational opportunities. Just 2.3 miles from the property lies Dwinal Pond Wildlife Management Area, a 2,450-acre habitat with wetlands, forest, and rare wildlife, including Maine’s endangered Clayton’s copper butterfly. The WMA is open for boating, fishing, hunting, and limited trail riding. For more exploration, Baxter State Park—home to Mount Katahdin—is about 49 miles away. Closer to home, you can paddle or fish the Mattawamkeag River at Lower Gordon Falls, only 14 miles away, or launch your boat on the Penobscot River at the Winn landing, just 9 miles from the land. Snowmobile and ATV riders will love the direct trail access right from the property.
The land itself features rolling terrain with elevations ranging from 365 to 420 feet above sea level. Soils are primarily Plaisted loam, known for supporting strong tree growth, though some areas could be cleared for crops with rock removal. Road frontage totals more than 1,500 feet across two public roads, offering flexibility for access and potential building sites. The property has a diverse forest makeup, with hardwoods dominating roughly 20 acres, along with pockets of softwood and mixed growth. A forester’s report estimates more than 270 cords of merchantable timber, making this both a recreational property and a long-term investment in Maine’s natural resources.
Whether you’re looking for a private getaway, a future building site, or a woodlot with potential, 95 Branch Road in Winn is worth a closer look. Affordable, private, and loaded with outdoor opportunities, it’s a chance to own your own slice of the Maine woods.
